why is BP a bad thing? Arent they trying to find cleaner sources of stuff, or are they just trying to look like that? Please explain. reply to above: i dont think EA is the only one (not defending them) making simpler games. Look at ubisoft. I never played a MMORPG, but iunno look at blizzard, but i like their games, at least WC and SC. Hell even look at Valve! Team fortress 2 is quite obviously considerably dumbed down when compared to TFC and Q*****, EA isnt the only one here, but them doing it doesnt help much.

Ew, star force?

I mean, I always liked just building sandbox style, just designing it however I want without pushy people telling me what to do. Plus you can mod almost anything, at least if you know how to use XML. I think it's better than City Life because there is more possibility for other styles of citybuilding, rather than those ugly tenements that pop up next to mansions or those annoying culture clashes. But Sc4 will always be better than Sc:S. EA may be an evil corporation, but so are millions of others. (*cough* including BP *cough*) What makes EA any different than other rich corporations, like McDonald's or Walmart? If you hate EA so much for being a greedy corporate moneysucker, you might as well boycott our entire economy, since we're all at some level greedy. Maybe except the Dalai Llama or the Pope, but they don't play video games. quote> what the hell is BP stand for?

make sure you got the NAM

yea, we probably would. Don't use a brand name where it shouldnt be. Like putting the Splinter Cell game on a non-stealth shooter game. oh wait....

yea, monte cristo deserves the money, and the only game i played from blizzard, and enjoyed alot, was StarCraft, and then i bought W3, never really got into it, but thats prolly becuz i was too busy with other games :/ StarCraft was actually my first videogame i've ever played, and i still play it and own it. Yes, i am 13 if you are wondering, and yes, SC's age group is 13 and up, not 13 and below.

Look at the next one, i cant even look, sorry, whenever i see ubi's logo, i just roll my eyes. I cant stand them, i dont buy anything from them anymore.

Well, i personally hate ubisoft (along with the whole Project Stealth team) because they COMPLETLY effed up splinter cell, my favorite game series of all time.... It seems its a new trend in the game industry, to dumb things down. look at these following games that were dumbed down, compared to their predcessors: Team Fortress SimCity Splinter Cell among others. is that the new cool thing to do at the developers offices?

also, HL2 is not really a generic shooter game. if you guys ever used the SDK, you would know how much work and effort went into that game. Also, with all of the tech, (Facial expressions, no cut scenes, w/e) it is just amazing. The story is also amazing. I used the SDK to make a project, and my dad helped me out, giving me impressions as to what to add, etc, and then i would add it/make the scene file. My dad was amazed at how hard Valve worked (My dad thought it was just a generic shooter before this project), and he wants to watch me play it. He really likes it, surprisingly.

think is actually simcity.ea.com/index i guess they just indexed it like they did with the SimCity 3000 website, which is surpringly still up.

i think Maxis just puts some unfinished code in, and other things, and then leaves it like that for later expansions. On modthesims2.com, when TS2 just came out, there was a Rain mod, and a Car mod. Oh look, the expansions (NightLife, and that one weather one) came out WITH that content! I was like HA! i dont need to spend that money when i already have it for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

if Maxis was never bought by EA, and was by itself, i think it would have gone outta buisness. But, i wish EA would have left them completly alone like they do with Valve: they just publish Valve's games (Valve has Steam too, so EA doesnt have a big part) and box them. I think they should have done that..... Maxis's problem is EA, and now they arent even maxis even more... they have been completly aSIMulated into EA. EA only cares about The Sims, and they just make them produce "Factory" games, games with no soul, just made to make money. I wish Maxis wasn't bought by EA, but by Valve! (or activision)
